Thanks, Dale. I would like to give this a shot, however, in looking over it, one of the first steps says to start the bike and rev engine to 2500RPM. I can't get it started. If I jump it from the car (I know, don't leave the car running), is it possible for me to f*k something else up if...

I will try...thanks, Bob. The symptoms I had that led me to believe that I needed to replace the battery were typical: - sluggish start - won't hold charge - volts drop at idle, gotta rev to bring back up Will stick the old one back on the trickle charger and try to start with the old one.

'04 - 36000 miles. I installed a new WestCo battery yesterday since the previous one was about 4 years old and was giving those symptoms of a dying battery. I put the new one on the trickle charger overnight. Reads about 14v on the multimeter. Turn on the key, dials sweep, fuel pump runs...

Could be him. Bruce Hammer. Team was founded by Bruce Hammer and John Ulrich in 1980. https://teamhammer.com/team/

It's not just a man's world anymore. Each year, more and more females are hitting the tracks. Perhaps part of the reason is the inspiration from one of these ladies... Melissa Paris - Series: AMA Pro - Daytona Sportbike - Her name is known in racing circles for 2 reasons - 1) She's pretty...

His results at Indy proved his bike wasn't that far off. Sure, it wasn't a full on factory bike, but, it's no slouch. If you go back through last seasons results and look at his times middle/late race, quite often they were real close to the front runners. Can't wait to see if he's got the...

Thanks!!! Great to be back. So far, so good with the new job. Could be a great year for Spies. He's got the ability. He's got the bike. He just has to work on his mental game. For some reason, other than what he did at Indy last year, he's got this monkey on his back with coming out of...

Sorry, Just started a new job and haven't been on the forum in a while and haven't been able to add much here. WSBK is 2 weeks away, MotoGP is 5 weeks away, AMA is 4 weeks away, BSB is about 10 weeks away. Gonna be another great season!!!! Can't wait to see how all of the changes in MotoGP...

Hans, Glad to hear all is well. Our walk up to Coit Tower canceled out the pizza, so, can't blame me!

For those who have never heard of it, every year they have a race through the streets of Macau in China. https://www.youtube.com/user/sportchannel100 5 part series covers this years race If you have balance control, turn off the right channel if you want to hear it in english (no english in...

For those that have never seen/heard/felt it live, you need to.

First ride on the new bike and Stoner is already within a second of his qualifying time at Valencia and under his fastest race lap. I do realize that you can't pass any judgment based on testing times, but, it's still interesting to see.

Most likely, the bare carbon bodywork and lack of Ducati decals is part of the agreement from Yamaha to let him ride the Duc at testing. He's still under contract to Yamaha. Don't look for much as far as post-event comments as he might be limited to what he's allowed to say. He may make...

Well, they will be a big family. If Stoner gets his own garage and Pedro/Dovi have to share one, like they are currently doing at the Valencia test, could get cramped in the close quarters.

A – the model year of your FJR 2004 B – the number of miles on your FJR when the cam chain noise became apparent 35K C – what action did you take, i.e., replace the CCT yourself, have the dealer do the work, ignore the noise, etc., and at what mileage Local shop (not dealer) replaced D –...

No surprise at all...Lorenzo signed through 2012 with Yamaha. Dovizioso still not confirmed as to where he'll end up next. Should say, which Honda he'll be on next year. In an interesting twist of fate for him - for this week's race, he captured pole position at Motegi (Honda's home track)...

Hey...bench racing is not fun if it doesn't get dragged (or is it drug?) out if we don't opinionate and speculate. Prior to the red flag, Danny knew he was beat and didn't have the pace. Strictly opinion - Danny was a) trying to lock down 2nd in the championship and b ) trying to help out his...

Good stuff!!!! Slight correction - the XR1200 bikes have kit parts from Vance and Hines, not Yosh.

Daytona SportBike has given us some of the best racing that I can remember in my years of being around racing. No worries about not agreeing with me. As I said, no one is right and no one is wrong. The banging between Eslick and Herrin is tame compared to the first laps of the Moto2 races...

Don't get me wrong. Motorcycle road racing should not be a contact sport. It's ******* dangerous enough. I wish they both would have finished on 2 wheels - would have been a helluva dogfight. I thank the racing gods that no one was injured in this melee. And I thank the racing gods, and...
